Join us for part 2 of this Panel on wtf is going on in Germany. My German guests include Ilyas who is a German Muslim, Claus is a German who was raised with very right-wing views but has since shed them, and we also have John who has a Master's degree in German Studies and lived there as an exchange student. We discuss aspects of German identity, history, nationalism and the thinking behind some of the blind and bizarre support we see for Israel, the stifling of pro-Palestinian views - especially in the arts, the treatment of left leaning Jewish people who are critical of Israel, the Herero & Nama genocide, the ICJ, ex-muslims & ‘liberal' Muslims in Germany becoming tools of the right, & more. —— All guests on the Aftershow are Patrons of the Polite Conversations. Truly amazing to get to chat with fascinating patrons of the show from all around the world. Subscribe via Patreon to access the full episode.

Brendel, Gerdwww.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit
Uma guerra pode fazer todo tipo de vítimas, não apenas mortos e feridos no campo de batalha ou entre os civis próximos. A Alemanha se orgulha por ser um país de cena cultural aberta e livre, sobretudo depois da reunificação levada a cabo em 1991. Entretanto, no passado recente, artistas e intelectuais têm manifestado preocupação diante do que descrevem como um clima de “repressão” por acusações que consideram exageradas de antissemitismo, o que teria se acentuado a partir de outubro deste ano, com o conflito envolvendo o Hamas, o governo israelense, o ataque terrorista de 7 de outubro e o bombardeio e ocupação da Faixa de Gaza, com vítimas civis tanto do lado israelense quanto do palestino. Flávio Aguiar, analista políticoA reclamação dos artistas e intelectuais alcançou repercussão internacional graças a um artigo no New York Review of Books (19/10/2023) e uma reportagem no The New York Times (7 e 8/12/2023). O artigo é assinado por Susan Neiman, de origem judaica, diretora do Einstein Forum, organização acadêmica com sede em Potsdam, ao lado de Berlim, voltada para a cooperação internacional. Nele, a autora deplora que o esforço por combater o antissemitismo descambou para uma às vezes velada, às vezes ostensiva repressão contra quem manifeste críticas a Israel e ao governo israelense. Uma das bases deste desvirtuamento estaria em resolução adotada pelo Parlamento Federal que considera qualquer forma de boicote a Israel como um ato antissemita; outra base seria também a consideração de que a segurança de Israel tornou-se uma “razão de Estado” na Alemanha, o que implica um apoio incondicional às ações daquele país e de seu governo. A partir daí, qualquer declaração ou ação de artistas ou intelectuais que propiciem uma acusação ou sequer suspeita de antissemitismo leva à exclusão dos autores dos planos de fomento - financiamento - público de atividades culturais, venham a acusação ou a suspeita de onde vierem. Aponta ela que esta prática vem ocorrendo já há alguns anos no país.Casos A reportagem do The New York Times lista uma série de casos de artistas que tiveram exposições ou premiações canceladas, ou suspensas por fazerem declarações consideradas hostis a Israel depois do ataque de 7 de outubro e da retaliação israelense em Gaza e na Cisjordânia ocupada. Também comparece à lista pelo menos um caso de artista que fez anos atrás uma declaração considerada hostil a Israel. Um dos casos mais contundentes listados no jornal é o da artista judia sul-africana Candice Breitz que, por ter criticado a retaliação de Israel em Gaza, teve sua exposição, prevista para 2024, cancelada no estado de Saarland. Diga-se de passagem que a exposição nada tinha a ver com a questão palestina ou israelense, versando sobre prostituição na África do Sul.O antissemitismo continua sendo um problema ora latente, ora explícito na Alemanha, assim como em outros países, e merece repulsa, assim como a islamofobia ou qualquer outra forma de discriminação racial, cultural, política, religiosa, de gênero ou ainda outras. O problema, aponta Neiman em seu artigo, é que esta preocupação vem descambando para o que chama de uma forma de “histeria” que promove ou aceita qualquer tipo de denúncia, com ou sem fundamento, como motivo suficiente para cancelar atividades ou personalidades de iniciativas culturais.Artistas e intelectuais de origem judaica, além de outras e outros, têm se manifestado em favor do diálogo ao invés da exclusão. A ministra da Cultura alemã, Claudia Roth, também se manifestou em favor de uma maior tolerância, afirmando que a exclusão deva ser um último recurso, ao invés de algo liminar. Entretanto, o problema persiste, uma vez que curadores de arte e diretores de museus ou outras instituições culturais temem perder o apoio institucional caso alguma de suas atividades levante uma sombra de suspeita de antissemitismo.Problema também em outros paísesO problema não é só da Alemanha. Em novembro, o conhecido artista chinês Ai Wei Wei, que apoia as reivindicações dos palestinos, teve uma exposição em Londres cancelada porque seus patrocinadores consideraram que este não era “o momento oportuno” para fazê-la, diante de apreensões por ele formuladas sobre a situação dos palestinos na Faixa de Gaza. Disseram respeitar o artista, e que considerariam a conveniência de retomar a iniciativa em outra ocasião. Nos Estados Unidos, denúncias da deputada do Partido Republicano por Nova York Elise Stefanik, uma entusiasta apoiadora de Donald Trump, levaram à convocação pela Câmara de três presidentas de universidades norte-americanas, Harvard, Princeton e o MIT, Massachussets Institute of Technoogy.As três foram acusadas de não porem ênfase suficiente na condenação do eventual ou suposto antissemitismo em manifestações pró-palestinos entre seus estudantes. Em consequência, a presidenta da Universidade de Princeton, Elizabeth Magill, renunciou. A deputada republicana comemorou: “Uma já foi”. Há quem veja nisto o renascimento do macarthismo repressivo dos anos 50, de triste memória.
Das Saarlandmuseum hat eine für 2024 geplante Ausstellung der jüdischen Künstlerin Candice Breitz abgesagt – wegen angeblich kontroverser Aussagen zum Gazakrieg. Unser Kunstkritiker Carsten Probst kritisiert die zahlreichen Absagen auf Verdacht. Probst, Carstenwww.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit
How can art institutions adapt to meet the changing cultural landscape in the coming decades, and what are the new models that will evolve to fill these needs? Fotografiska, a private, for-profit photography museum, is offering a novel possibility. Fotografiska's self proclaimed mission is to offer a unique cultural destination where people can discover world class photography alongside one of a kind programming with top tier restaurants and bars on site. With expanded late night hours open until 11 p. m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Fotografiska believes it gives the public a more flexible platform for encountering culture than the traditional, often sterile museum setting. But it's a model that's not without skeptics, who worry that prioritizing experienced culture risks undermining curatorial rigor. Founded in Stockholm in 2011, today Fotografiska is a global enterprise with locations in Tallinn, Estonia and New York City, and the international expansion continues with a Berlin outpost that opened just last month with exhibitions by celebrated artists including Juliana Huxtable and Candice Breitz at the Kunsthaus Tascheles—a destination with a unique cultural history for the city. The museum's first location in Asia is also set to be unveiled this month in Shanghai. Behind Fotografiska's ascent is Yoram Roth, the institution's chairman, and a Berlin based entrepreneur focused on arts and culture. With a career background that ranges from entertainment and music production to publishing, Roth brings a dynamic energy, unique vision, and infectious attitude to the art sphere. This week, Artnet editor Katie White spoke to Roth about Fotografiska, and a new era of cultural experiences.

Vorurteile weißer Menschen gegenüber Schwarzen und People of Color stehen im Zentrum einer Videoinstallation von Candice Breitz. In der Ausstellung "Whiteface" im Museum Folkwang demontiert die in Südafrika geborene Künstlerin rassistische Mantras.Von Sabine Oelzewww.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, FazitDirekter Link zur Audiodatei
South African artist Candice Breitz talks to Ben Luke about the artists, writers, musicians, film-makers and other figures that have influenced her and inspire her today, and the cultural experiences that have defined her life and work. Breitz is a film-maker whose work, mostly in the form of video installations, explores selfhood and identity, community, race and gender, and reflects on how mass media like television, cinema and music shape our response to them. Among much else, she discusses her recent work Digest, and how it was influenced by the Middle Eastern folk tales One Thousand and One Nights and On Kawara's Today series, or date paintings. She reflects on the power of Octavia Butler's speculative fiction and her complex response to the South African novelist JM Coetzee. She talks about her video works telling the stories of refugees and sex workers. And she discusses growing up in Apartheid South Africa and its bearing on her choice of subjects and media.
